Footage taken late Friday night of a tense confrontation between pro-Palestine demonstrators and pro-Israel counter-protesters at the encampment revealed it was a pro-Israel student demonstrator who said “Kill the Jews,” asking the pro-Palestine demonstrators “anybody on board; anybody on board?”
Hours later, the same statement was used by Northeastern as a part of the reason for clearing out the “Gaza solidarity encampment” in Centennial Common, which resulted in the detainment of over 100 individuals.
Always is. Same with the “BLM” arsonists being off duty cops.
Unrelated to the incident you’re referring to, but during the 2020 wildfires here in oregon, proudboys and maga types were out searching the countryside for BLM activists. They’d heard via police scanners that BLM were setting up checkpoints and denying entry to fire-affected areas. Which was absolutely true - since that’s what the Bureau of Land Management is supposed to do.
I’ve heard “BLM Land” used as an example of affirmative action by an older family member. He scoffed at how ridiculous it was that there was land reserved for BLM and the blacks weren’t even using it.
Wonder if it ever occurred to him that the “BLM Land” had been there for decades, but the “Black Lives Matter” movement has only been around under that name in recent years.
No surprise.
“I’m the victim! I’m so much the victim that if you don’t recognize it, I will discriminate against myself! Okay done, now that I’ve been discriminated against (by my own words), can we shoot the protestors like Palestinian children?”
Is my browser incompatible with the website or did they not post the damn video the entire article is about?
Thank you.
This is yelling “Fire” in a crowded theater sort of criminal behaviour.
Shocking
I really do think that in hindsight we are going to discover that these kids are falling victim to a bunch of right wing provocateurs who are trying to inject anti-zionist messaging into a legitimate human rights protest. I think this is why a lot of people have been uncomfortable with the whole thing tbh.
Zionism is the ideological backbone to the human rights issue. It is the core of the Zionist ideology to “settle” aka steal the land from the Palestinians living their, based on an ethnic superiority and Jewish “bloodright” to the land. It is the same ideology as “Blut und Boden” by the Nazis with which they justified their “Lebensraum” expansion into Eastern Europe.
It is particularly insane as the Palestinians are ethnically Semites. They are the descendants of the “OG Jews”, they are the descendants of the “OG Christians” and they “OG Muslims”. There is Palestinian families that can trace back their ancestry 1500 years ago.
The people never left the land. Just most of them converted to Christianity and later Islam. So Zionism is at the core the idea, that the Cousin that left the land long time ago is entitled to come back and murder his Cousins that never left, in order to take the land away from them.
It is crucial to understand that Zionism is a fascist and genocidal ideology that was fueled and takes support form the white antisemitism of hundreds of years and in particular the German, European and American antisemitism of the 20th century. It is crucial to understand that anti-zionism has nothing to do with antisemitism. This is an accusation made by zionists to achieve three goals:
-
Delegitimize any criticism of Zionism, especially Jewish criticism of Zionism
-
Distract from actual antisemitism by white supremacists, Nazis and other fascists that form an useful alliance with the Zionists.
-
Muddy the discussion around Zionism and antisemitism to allow for crackdown on progressive Jews while building up antisemitism so that Jews cannot feel safe. By destroying the safety of Jews outside Israel, Israel is justifying its existence as the only place were Jews would be safe behind the walls of a brutal military oppression.
Especially the third point is crucial to understand in the context of October 7. Because it proved this core justification of the Zionist ideology to be a big fucking lie.

I’m confused. Do you mean antisemitic instead of anti-zionist?
That is absolutely happening. Lots of that crap from Russia and China, too.
Doesn’t excuse Israel’s horrific behavior, of course.
